TAKE READING
OUTSIDE
Most people consider reading an indoors activity, but there’s nothing wrong with a
little fresh air now and then! Unfortunately, while reading outside may seem like a
fun idea to parents, it can be challenging to get your kiddos excited about it. Here are
some tips for making outdoor reading a bit more fun.
SUGGEST IT
Maybe the reason your kiddo never
considered taking reading outside is
because it never occurred to her to do so.
Getting her outside with a book might be
as easy as just giving her the idea.
MAKE A SPECIAL PLACE
Designated reading areas work just as
well outside as inside. Whether it’s a
small tent, a blanket, a lawn chair, or just
a shady tree, making a special reading
area will keep your child comfy while
reading
GET INTERACTIVE
Transform time outside into an exciting,
interactive activity by turning it into a
scavenger hunt. Have your kiddo match
the leaves and bugs in his nature book to
the leaves and bugs in your yard.
